"All you have to be is good"

Not sure if this is a quote from somewhere but thought it was some interesting
advice that @thorstenball received when he was starting into web development.
He asked a friend already in the industry if he thought he had a shot. He had
no degree, no credentials, no experience at the time.
I almost for got Rules [1] 4 today, rollout when smooth late in the day right
before a vacation day (terrible time to deploy I admit not my clearest plan).
Race conditions are a b****, all around on this one. The app I was concerned
about won the race to deploy first and was fine by itself, then another app had
a race condition inside itself that killed it

one minute in, I cannot believe Prime has never used a password manager. For all the shit they give Trash for his one password, He does not use a password manager!

Prime on Big A they make a really great mix. I really like primes perspective on the layoffs here. Adding in an ops perspecive a bit here. Maybe inspiring a full level post. infra, ops, sre roles are incentivised to keep uptime, that is your goal in these roles. Idk how it works on big products, its probably more greased, higher stakes, more well thoguht out, more well discussed. In my role for many small internal applications developers constantly use my platform different and find new edge cases that we never expected to hit. Depending on my week I’m either the team blocker and I’m fighting fires all week making sure new releases are getting out and stay running while everything is breaking, or I’m tending to the fire lanes, predicting the new edges, looking at previous outages and asking myself how do we never see this category of failure again. I think AI is really good a enabling both of these. I think you can probably run a leaner team with AI on the latter half. AI is really good at implementing things consitent (if you are careful) and fast. But when shit hits the fan, you still need the people who know the systems to get things back up quickly and prevent a cascade of more…
Agentic coding has this nice trick of letting you bang out a project in an afternoon, something complex that would have take some real time to implement, not just some rounding error that can slip right in between the jira board. Then it will be perpetually never done. There will always be bugs and thorns rear their head up, new features no one ever thought of, and now no one really has to think much about beyond having the idea. This part of software engineering has always been here, its the root of the never complete 200 side projects. But now it feels like fuel has been poured on the fire, like we can get more done than ever. But we are tricking ourselves, these projects will never be “done”. There’s always more to add. Without feeling any of the pain of implementing it yourself, why not just keep adding new features forever. This is the mentality that is crushing me right now. It pulls at your token anxiety like crazy. You look at the usage board and you are almost cooked so you sw…
